Amazon Prime Day kicks off today, giving buyers a whole day (and a half) to grab some crazy deals on the latest and greatest products - usually including lots of gaming goodies. The UK version of Amazon Prime Day started earlier on today - with two Nintendo Switch bundles and lots of games and accessories on offer - so we're hopeful for a similar showing for the US.

The event begins at 3pm ET, and is likely to produce some great deals for Switch fans from the off. These deals can be all snapped up shockingly fast, however - one of the UK's Switch bundles disappeared after just six minutes earlier - so we encourage you to keep refreshing the page to see what pops up. Here's the link you'll want to keep an eye on and the start times for your area:

If you spot any deals, make sure to throw a link to them in the comments for others in the community to see. Hopefully we can make sure that everyone gets what they're after by working together!

With Octopath and Captain Toad both wrapped on my desk at the moment, I think I am all stocked up on Switch games for now. I will say if Kirby or Mario Aces have an insane sale today (50% off or more) I might be tempted though

@Dayton311 it's still a bit early for Aces, especially since it's already selling pretty well. Kirby is a definite possibilty though, along with the MK8, BOTW, and Odyssey at this point. Just wish I wasnt flat broke on my gaming budget this month.

@SuperWeird eh, all big companies are being boycotted for some reason or another. Money is too tight for me for the foreseeable future, if I see an insane deal I’m gonna jump on it now to survive the drought until money is less tight... though I probably still won’t get anything, has to be a pretty good deal and any Switch games I’d want are too new...

Not really in the market for too much this year. May get a few books but that's probably it. Did score a switch for 50% off from target this morning though, doubt anything will beat that. My wife is going to do some damage though, she's been making a list for weeks. Can't wait /s

They have a retail price system that comes with a 64GB microsd and a 20 dollar eshop card. I mean, nothing to write home about but surely if you need a system then you should buy it from Amazon at the moment.

EDIT: I should mention I am from the US.

And oh boy, the microsd cards are on sale. They have the 400 gb sandisk for only 139.99. It is normally 190. I know, because I have been considering getting one for over 2 weeks now. 50 bucks off is worth it in my opinion. https://goo.gl/CukGPn

Found a 3DS for the price of a 2DS. 149 for the Super NES paint scheme no less. https://goo.gl/MeogxJ
Apparently you can select a version with the power adapter for the same price. So make sure to do that if you are nabbing it. (Interesting to note that when you do select "with adapter" the stipulation that you have prime goes away and it can be purchased by anyone. This is the Amazon Basics charger.)

@SuperWeird@ShadJV@Yosheel Interesting, that article doesn't even say why Amazon Spain is union striking. But a google search brought me to the (real name) Communist Party's union statement, which seemed to list grievances about 9-hour work days, lack of bonuses, and protection from diseases. I could be wrong, my Spanish isn't great anymore. But they have a Union that has apparently been working on negotiations for 4 months (I didn't say it was an effective union), whereas I do not have a union negotiating savings for my wallet.

@Agramonte I saw that PS+ UK offer this morning over on PS, I'll bite for $35, mine expires in January. We don't play online but I save a lot of money on sales and I play a lot of the included games. I won't pay $60, not gonna happen, but $35 I can do.

Apparently the site is having problems now - haven't been on in a couple of hours - maybe Bezos can ask Alexa for help.

I wonder if Amazon is getting DOS? Haven't heard anything from either Anonymous or the offshoot Lizard Squad in awhile.

@SuperWeird Apparently base pay for entry level fulfillment center workers in Spain is about $23,000 a year, but of course, communist party is not happy. Bezos works double the amount of an average worker at Amazon's warehouse, but somehow noone sees it... Also this:

Amazon’s total compensation in Madrid is in the high range of the logistics sector and consists of base pay and an extensive benefits package: private medical insurance, a company pension plan, life assurance, employee discount and a Career Choice program that provides employees funding for adult education, offering to pre-pay 95 percent of tuition and associated fees for nationally recognized courses, over four years.

Good reason for introducing more robots at the warehouses, at least they don't go on strike. So no, don't boycott Amazon, it's a silly thing to do. If workers don't like their job so much, just leave and find something else.

No videogame sales, but an air fryer, new bed pillows, and two high sided litter boxes for my cat that doesn't understand that just because your feet are in the box doesn't mean all the pee will wind up there too. 🤣

@mateq People want to find a way to blame others for their life choices. There is nothing wrong with a job at Amazon but if you don't like the pay or conditions work somewhere else. If you don't qualify for anything else, whose fault is that?

No Prime Day for me, unless Ys VIII goes on sale, which isn't likely since it's new. Hopefully everyone else can snag some good deals, though!

@tseliot Since you don't know everyone involved individually, you can't make sweeping generalizations like that and expect to be taken seriously. I'm sure it may apply to some workers, but there are so many other factors that have to be taken into consideration when understanding why people do what they do and work where they do (since jobs aren't always as easy to come by as some may believe). Or maybe I'm just delusional, what with being overcome by the smell of troll-posting and all.

@FionnTheBrave I’d use the same logic on the opposite side. We shouldn’t make sweeping generalizations that the side on strike is in the right. And as boycotting is taking an action, why should we assume Amazon is in the wrong and boycott them? Because they’re a big company? Because every group of striking employees must be in a situation where they’re plight is just? There’s no reason to get consumers in other countries (where it likely doesn’t even affect that branch of the company) involved in their fight just taking their word at face value.

Sad sales for the most part, though I've been thinking about getting an echo. The discounts for amazon products are good at least, and I wouldn't buy xenoverse 2 for 30 when fighterz will be coming by years end, and the fact it was 20 bucks last black friday at walmart lol.

@Supadav03 I am actually upgrading from my 200GB to a 400GB with the deal they have. 200GB is fine, I seem to get by, but you can get to the point where you will find yourself deleting a lot of stuff eventually so you can download new games. With the 400GB I am looking at twice the amount of space I currently have, and considering how I haven't had to delete all that much it should be a real worry free solution.

I took the plunge and grabbed a 400 GB micro SD. My 200 has about 113 left on it, and I'm going to be using a lot more of that. Smash alone is gonna use 16. I prefer having games like that downloaded so I can play them anytime. @JayJ Same here! Going from 200 to 400.
